i had a similar plan once.. i had bought a 40ft fishing boat.. it had a 28ft open deck at the back.. the plan was to take the wheels off a caravan and secure it to the deck... heh presto 1 liveaboard made without all the hassle ..phase 2 was to put a tarp over the whole thing and secure it to the gunrails .... === no worries about the weather also hiding ( mostly ) what i'd done ( from a distance... benefits would also be.. when it came time to sell and the next owner didn't want a liveaboard / wanted a fishing boat.. just crane the caravan off and heh presto .... back to the way she was.....

as to the above conversion i saw a lot better 1 a few years ago on ebay it was a daf flat bed / recovery vehicle but the chap had joined the cab and the caravan together with fiberglass to give a proper walk-through " cus the missus demanded it " but still retained the tilt cab abilityfor access to the engine !!.. i remember it being blue and white....i think he wanted about 6k...

That looks a great read, Do you wana pass it on? sell it or loan it out for a read? Just my kind of road vehicles. I have a Unimog 3 way tipper truck (agri spec) and the marriage of my traditional romany ledge wagon mated to it, is where my minds has been before. Not quite the Haynes version of New Age traveller.
